45 Chapter

We are staring at each other. We don't move from our spots. I saw a big smirk appear on its face before disappearing when i blinked my eyes. I felt shivers go through my spine. Something is wrong here and I'm sure its not just me. I went fast to the head of the guards and explained what just happened. The head of the guards called out for even more guards and ordered them to go out and find the intruder. He took me to my and Elliana's room and stood outside of our bedroom. I laid down on the bed trying to sleep but i couldn't. I didn't feel comfortable sleeping when I knew that someone was outside. I don't know what their intentions are. Or who they are. I groaned and got up. I went to the window i opened slightly the curtain and looked out of the window. And there it was again, looking around the gates and our garden. That person didn't see that i saw it. I closed it carefully before going to the guards who were standing outside of our room. 'The person has returned. It's by the roses.' I told them. The head of the guards sends them to the roses to check it out. More guards came to our room and even went inside our room to protect us. I sat down on the bed and waited for an update. I looked over at Elliana who was sleeping peacefully. 'Don't worry, we will find this intruder.' I heard one of the guards say as i looked at Elliana's sleeping body. I sighed heavily and tried to relax. Soon enough a guard came and informed me that we would be able to catch the intruder soon. It seemed like hours had passed but in reality, it only took about five minutes before they came to tell me that the intruder had disappeared. I groaned in frustration, not knowing what to do. 'Stay calm. Just keep your guard up.' The head guard assured me. I sighed and went to Elliana. I caressed her cheek softly and brushed my thumb over her cheekbone. 'It'll be alright sweetheart. Don't worry...' I trailed off. 

Before we all knew it, it was morning. I had a sleepless night....the person is still out there...I have to protect my kingdom....my wife...and our unborn child. I got ready and went out, I ordered the guards to stay with her. I went out and asked some guards to join me on a journey to the neighboring kingdom. They accepted the offer and we went to our horses. We got on the and galloped away. After an hour or 2, we finally arrived. We were greeted at the gates and let in. I thanked them and got off my horse. I saw that the maids were getting King Petro and his Queen Amy. We got led to the throne room and waited. Some minutes later King Petro and Queen Amy arrived. We greeted each other 'Why are you here Kevin?' Asked Petro. I explained what happened in the night and about the person. They looked alarmed. 'I'm very worried....For myself....for Elliana..and forour unborn baby. Please....i ask for help.' I told them. They looked surprised when i told them that Elliana is pregnant. They did some thinking before calling over some of their soldiers. They all came 'You all will go back With King Kevin to his kingdom. You all will protect them with your life. His wife Queen Elliana is pregnant. You all will stay close to her and King Kevin.' Petro announced. They nodded and waited for my order. I thanked them and took the new guards to the horses. We all got on our horses and galloped back to my and Elliana's kingdom. 

Soon we arrived in front of the gates of my and Elliana's kingdom. We got off our horses and went inside the castle. I lead the guards to the room where me and Eliana sleep. I got inside the room. She was still sleeping all cozy and rolled up. I smiled a bit and went to her. I let them all in so they see who they are gonna protect. I kissed her head softly and she moved a bit. Her eyes opened a bit, she looked at me with a soft sleepy smile. 'Morning my love.' I said to her. She smiled at me and greeted me back. She looked at the new guards and then looked back at me. 'They are the new guards.' I told her before kissing her head. 'But...why do we need more...?' She asked. 'I will explain it all later my love. Get ready my love.' I told her kissing her cheek.
